Mark’s birthday morning – we got up about 8:00 and rode the cabin bikes – way too big for both of us – over to the coffee place, Red Cup. Kinda assumed they’d have wifi, but no. So now we’re hanging out in front of the public library using theirs. I tried calling both kids on Skype, but didn’t get either. Mark’s talking to his older brother, though.
We had an interesting chat with an Island regular – Mr. MacNulty – a real Chicago Conservative Democrat – he hates everybody. I was kind of afraid to tell him my last name is Shapiro – but in fact, he wouldn’t have hated me simply for being Jewish. What he would’ve hated would be the rules like the Madison School District has, where you can’t send Christmas cookies to school with your kids ‘cuz it might offend the Jews. When I have better Internet, I’ll have to research him a bit.
But we’re getting kinda frozen, so we should probably head back to the cabin for breakfast.
